man, am i tired. this week back from vacation was rough. my patients said i've gone soft, my rock climbing has been sloppy and the mosquito feast on my body has begun. last weekend and through the week, i've just been riddled w/ bites, which all became huge and infected. a couple of days ago i felt real week as a result, so i took a benedryl last nite, which knocked me out at about 11:30. then pater calls at like 1:30 and i answered it thinking it was morning and she was having an infestation of mosquitos as well and it was frustrating her to no end. then she called back again at 2:30---felt bad for her but i was semi-conscious and drugged up to really pay attention.

so by popular demand, i'll working at my soon-to-be former job 2 nites a week. apparently, a lot of my patients have been complaining and threatened to not come back, so dr. c. asked if i would consider 3 nites...i said, 2 would be kind ideal, i still want my friday's and getting out of 3pm would be sweet...especially in the summertime. i get to save good spots for the bryant park movies!! woo hoo!!

spoke with jo last nite, wanted to check on how things are w/ the new babe, grace. james has been going through the whole jealousy thing. and her maternity leave is almost up. still have no inkling of fatherly instinct enough to want those family feelings i used to have when i was w/ stephanie. how scary would that be? suburban lifestyle, 2 1/2 children, dog...shoot me now.

ok...going to meet up w/ simone and gang for some din-din. was gonna go see kill bill vol. 2 again but i was given a patient at 6pm and there was no way to make there in time. had to bring the boys to the run of course...which was great. jubei was actually playing w/ another dog today...had to get them real filthy as tomorrow they're getting groomed.

want to see troy now...i didn't before, but now i do. damn that discovery channel.

12 Days and Counting!!

so i put my 2 1/2 weeks notice in yesterday. wasn't planning to do it until friday but the bossman called me on it, he wanted to know if i was happy there b/c apparently i've been flaky the past couple o' weeks...duh! i haven't had a vacation in 3 years...flakyness was inevitable. so i broke the bad news (for them) but did offer my services for the afternoon (since i'll be out of work by 3pm!!!). some patients were sad, one was really upset, which made me feel bad...only b/c she has really come a long way in her therapy and doesn't want to start over again w/ a new therapist. others want to pay me under the table for my services (i'm such the whore!)--but i'm only considering it.

that week away really screwed me up work wise...apparently, my hands have gone soft! and i'm getting bored w/ that damn climbing wall. i'm going to hit the wall at lincoln center methinks this weekend. oh and the boys will be getting their haircut this weekend...very exciting stuff i tell ya!! so i'm considering abusing my position in my final days here to ask out a couple o' patients--and calling this other patient who hasn't been here in a while to come in in the hopes of asking her out too...it really sounds terrible, i know--but hey, i haven't seen that girl i met in the dog run a month ago...which means she's married now w/ 6 kids and i missed the boat.

i just realized that i'll be 31 in 3 weeks. ugh...
